    It wasn't a "diplomatic agreement" it was fucking extortion to get Iran to stop their nuclear program cos if they succeeded it would get a lot harder to coup them.

    The USA broke their side of the "agreement" the month the deal was signed when they never halted sanctions like they'd agreed to.

    Iran is in a bettter position now than at the end of Obama's second term. Obama's deal left Iran under moderate sanctions (a blatant violation of the deal as it was written) and under the threat that if UN inspectors weren't satisfied their nuclear program wasn't happening those sanctions would increase to cripping levels. The Trump administratoin increased US Sanctions on Iran but the loss of US soft power under his regime led to the UN declining to extend UN sanctions following the assasination despite the US pushing for those sanctions to be extended. As it stands the UN sactions on Iran are set to expire in October 2020, the US' unilateral sanctions are increasingly inneffective as the US' economic hegemony deteriorates and the Iranian nuclear program has more enriched fissible material stockpiled and is presumably closer to producing a nuclear deterrent than it ever has been.

    The Trump regime has been a fucking gift to Ali Khamenei and the people of Iran.
